The government is going to make the changes in process of child adoption very soon. In the monsoon session of Parliament from the Government, the amendment bill will be presented in the Juvenile Justice (JJ) Act. After the implementation of the bill, the adoption procedure of the child will be completed in only two months. There is a clearance to change the rules of Section 2 of the Juvenile Justice Act (the procedure for child adoption under sub-section 23). 

After this, the future parents will get rid of the long process. They will be able to get a final stamp from the lower level of the district level on the whole process. The Ministry of Women and Child Development changed the adoption rules in 2017 and implemented the Juvenile Justice Care and Protection of Children Act 2017. It is being revised and simplified again.

New rules will further strengthen the adoption process. Now the physical verification of the potential or future parents of the Child Protection Committee will come under the office of the District Magistrate. Due to the system being online, potential parents register online directly. After verification, they go to adoption agencies.             

Currently, the rule is that the adoption of the child has to be taken from the court to complete the entire process and for the final seal of legality. This process often takes two to two years of time. According to an estimate, 850 to 900 cases are currently waiting for permission from the court. 

15 thousand potential parents were waiting for the children's adoption, then by March 2018, 3,276 children were adopted. 651 children were adopted to foreigners. At this time about 15 thousand potential parents are waiting for their turn. So this process will help in the early disposal. According to an estimate, there are 50 thousand orphan children in the country. In such a situation, the rules can be simplified and a roof can been given to orphan children.
